The Phoenix Firebirds thumped the Oakland Oaks, 15-1, at Phoenix Muni. Irv Noren was a big reason his team got the win. Noren went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 6. Roy Patterson got credit for the win, improving to 8-10. He allowed 1 run on 6 hits in 9 innings. Phoenix has 3 straight wins, Oakland 3 straight losses.

An important at-bat for Phoenix came with two out in the bottom of the fourth inning. With the bases loaded, Noren hit a grand slam home run, which contributed to the Firebirds win.

Noren called the game "anything but a nail-biter."
